Today I phoned Orange to cancel my contract at the end of the current payment period (i.e. April 17th). After that I will be on a pay as you go contract as though it were once again the early 2000s. I bought a brand new, unlocked, totally non-smart phone a couple of weeks ago in preparation for travelling during which I expect the item to undergo various types of duress and didn't want a fancy £200+ portable computer being trashed or nicked in the process. The Nokia 105 doesn't even have a camera, just Snake and Sudoku. When moving from country to country it seemed sensible to have an unlocked phone in order to buy local sim cards so that Erika and I can keep in contact when apart without having to spend an arseload on roaming charges. What good is a Lumia 1020 in the hills of Nepal anyway? It hasn't even been a loss not having 24/7 access to Facebook or Reddit or Gmail when trudging the daily grind in Norwich.

Welcome to my world.
What is a Smartphone? What is a Lumia 1020? I remember Snake!
